Characterization of tumor interactions with the immune system in an autochthonous mouse model of glioblastoma

Margarita Lui, Olivia Makinson, Meghan L Walsh, Taj J Matthews, John Woulfe, Michele Ardolino, Ian A. J. Lorimer

This paper studies immune responses in a mouse model of glioblastoma, finding that large tumors induce immune responses at border sites but also generate immunosuppressive necroses that limit therapeutic benefit.
